Psalm 141:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ Good people may punish me and rebuke me in kindness,
    but I will never accept honor from evil people,
    because I am always praying against their evil deeds.
⁶ When their rulers are thrown down from rocky cliffs,
    the people will admit that my words were true.
⁷ Like wood that is split and chopped into bits,
    so their bones are scattered at the edge of the grave.^[a]
